Event Navigation

The 10th Annual Brooklyn Folk Festival will overtake a corner of Brooklyn Heights during the first weekend of April 2018. The lineup includes Elizabeth Mitchell and Suni Paz, Innov Gnawa, John Cohen with the Down Hill Strugglers, R. Crumb with the East River Street Band, and Spirit Family Reunion. This year’s agenda also features three film screenings, including the NYC premiere of Linefork, a biopic about Kentucky banjo legend Lee Sexton. If you’re fond of folk music or identify with the counterculture movement and will be in town the weekend of April 6, you’ll want to stay near the National Historic Landmark St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church.

Book here to stay with NU Hotel during the 10th Annual Brooklyn Folk Festival. The host venue is just a half-mile away. For more information on this celebration of American folk music, visit theevent website.

NU Hotel, Brooklyn

NU Hotel is located in downtown Brooklyn in walking distance to four great Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, and Prospect Heights. Wander south past the pristine 19th century brownstones and artist warehouses to explore local bars, restaurants, and shops. Walk or bike toward Prospect Park, Brooklyn’s version of Central Park, to discover the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, or go a bit further to find everything from Hasidic wig makers to Caribbean music shops. Circle back around toward downtown Brooklyn and DUMBO for a bit of high-end retail shopping and dining, and perhaps catch a concert or game at the Barclays Center afterward. Last but not least, don’t forget a visit to the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, with its spectacular views of Manhattan crowning it all.
